    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Back then at the time of the referendum and before, there were three parallel threads running on the same subject and members including Robdon were discussing the subject simultaneously on all three: "Leaving the EU", thread started 6th January 2016 "Brexit, for once some facts". thread...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not you as well. When will everyone finally realise that the Great in Great Britain refers only to the increase in area with Scotland in the union? It has nothing to do with status. Of course under Rees Mogg's more accurate guidance at the time they would have more correctly named the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Really? I understood the new cabinet is 50/50 balanced, just like the country. I wonder what it might take to frighten them into being a remain majority. Leaving not going well, trade talks not going well? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've never said that or ever thought it. What I have said is that I'd like Corbyn to have a single term to get his nationalisation of rail and water through. Safe since he wouldn't get a second term. I've also said that the many years of tory and pseudo tory government that we've had is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Trade Agreements normally take many years to agree. Four years is regarded as very quick, seven years is par. Philip Hammond when Foreign Secretary said four years on top of two years transition for an EU trade deal, so six years in all from now. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course. I don't think so, I think they will play him as hard ball as he's trying to play them. They can afford to far more than we can. Eventually that's inevitable. Whether Johnson likes it or not, it's the reality. Unless of course a GE puts the Tories out of power and we have a...

    So you've never heard of articles 49 and 50? And remember, we also agreed to the structure of the departure talks. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Jonathan was posting the truth. The EU isn't treating us badly, they are merely sticking to the terms for leaving that we've always agreed to for decades. We are being the awkward ones, voting to leave but pretending those terms don't exist, wanting special treatments that the EU couldn't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    National rail and water are not failures. The world's best rail systems are all national ones and the worst ones usually privately owned and failed. And the fundamental need of water for sustaining life means it should never be a subject of profit making. Putting it's access under private...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The comparisons are valid for the simple reason that for many decades we've had the global warming change warnings and ever increasing data about the truth of those. It doesn't matter that the extremes seem rare, that they can happen is enough to equip ourselves against them. It's our...

    Of course not, does nationalising rail and water sound like doing nothing? That's without mentioning all the other changes they want to introduce in society. .

    Even of they were, there's still leaves on the line and the wrong sort of snow to follow. Russia's Siberian Railway operates with impressive reliability in a temperature range from minus 50 to plus 30 degrees C and some of the world's heaviest snowfalls. It's for reasons like this among others...

    UK E-bike laws about to change or fake news?

    Indeed, it's just a form of the Low Powered Moped class L1e-A for 250 watt pedelecs to be permitted throttles. They have to be type approved by Single Vehicle Approval to get that permission. But that doesn't make them fully L1e-A mopeds allowed up to 1000 watts, which are emphatically not...

    Wisper After Sales Service.

    I can assure you that David Miall has an excellent and very active sense of humour. He's also more dedicated to good customer service than most and the only e-bike supplier I've known to strip a dealer of their e-bike agency due to them not giving good enough customer service. That is normally...

    Surely the other way round? Most of the things we preserve have no merit whatsoever, such as Battersea Power Station chimneys and the Croydon Power Station Chimneys at IKEA. Not to mention the old CEGB power station turned into the Tate Gallery. Thinly disguised avoidance of demolition costs...
